Incredibly Low Motivation Approaching 90 Days

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Admiral Rusty, Sep 7, 2018.

    Hello everyone. So starting yesterday, my body started to develop this feeling telling me a relapse is imminent, and that I won't make it, and that any moment, I could start back up again. Basically, my motivation has plummeted. I can handle the motivation part on my own, but I want to ask, does this usually happen before 90 days? What do you guys think?

    It sounds like anxiety. You are getting close, and might be worrying about "sunk cost" and losing all your hard work. Urges are also recurring and I don't think they ever truly go away entirely. You might also be putting too much faith in 90 days as a magic number. 3 more days and you won't suddenly be magically healed! Do a self-assessment and see what kind of progress you've made, and what kind of improvement you would like to see. You might consider trying to find an SO, if you don't already have one, and wire to a physical person at this point.

    It happened to me several times, before and after 90 days. It's probably your mind, your addiction, trying to trick you.

    yes this does happen. Get ready because it will be back in full force in a couple of days or a week. 90+ is the best part and you should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel

    Few questions, “How should I make sure I’m ready? How will I know when this is at full force? How long will it last? Will my life return to normal after this?

    I don't think our lives will ever be "normal" per se, we are addicts and likeothers have mentioned, will always suffer from urges. But its our past. And we recognise it, but don't let it define us. The longer you go, the more you distant yourself away from all the BS we have seen in our teens, rewire our brain and develop a stronger connection with ourselves and others around us. And the most important point, is nt seeing the opposite sex as a piece of meat. Because that's all P does to our brain, hence why when we abstain for long periods of time we start to see more clearly and back to state of "normality" if you want to call it that.

    Keep going man. So close to that goal you can literally taste it. Do NOT listen to your urges they are never as good as what your brain is painting out to be. It's a fine women in a red dress walking across the street. But when you look real close, she ain't nothing. That's what it is. Keep strong! You are an inspiration :)

    Isn’t it around this point where most people tend to relapse?

    A lot, for what i can see, but i think you really see result after 6 months or 200 days, it makes no sense to stop at 100 days.

    At 100 days i'm in the eye of the storm, unfortunately.

    Too much thinking... you will know. Girls will seem really attractive, super productive, feeling high on life, super goal oriented and motivated, enjoyment from little things in life.

    I plan at least 180 days, but i think a year will be better.

    I get no sex, but after the first month the cravings get less intense.
